    About this ebook

    Help investigate the case of a missing lemonade recipe with Nancy and her friends in the second book in an all-new, interactive Nancy Drew chapter book series. Includes space for readers to jot down their own ideas and solutions to the case!

    Nancy, Bess, and George want tickets to see pop singer Katy Sloan play at the River Heights Amusement Park—but their parents say they’ve already filled their summer theme-park quota. So the girls decide to turn lemons into lemonade by earning their own tickets—with a lemonade stand!

    Unfortunately Lily Ramos, a new girl in River Heights, has the same idea. She’s the niece of the owner of the town’s newest and hottest café, and her stand is equipped with café tables, gourmet treats, and a rolling library cart! Good thing Nancy has a secret weapon: Hannah’s family lemonade recipe!

    The girls are all set to whip up the lemonade—until the recipe is replaced by a blank sheet of paper! Nancy, Bess, and George set out to find the thief! Could it be Lily, whose stand may be fancy but whose lemonade is totally yucky? Or a sneaky contestant on Ready, Set, Cook!, the hot new kids’ cooking contest show? It’s up to the Clue Crew—and you—to find out!

      *spoilers*I didn't care for this book much, mostly because it was *very* obvious what had really happened, right from the start. George gets a new "gadget" pen, doesn't know what it really does, Nancy writes the secret recipe with the pen, and then the paper is there but the recipe is gone? SO obvious that it's disappearing ink. I couldn't even enjoy the usual elimination of suspects because it was just so obvious what was really going on. I liked that they got the concert tickets in the end though, despite not selling enough lemonade.

    Last Lemonade Standing - Carolyn Keene

    SOUR POWER

    I don’t get it, eight-year-old Nancy Drew said. Doesn’t anyone want lemonade?

    Nancy sat with her two best friends behind their lemonade stand. The table holding a pitcher of lemonade and paper cups was set up in the Drews’ front yard.

    Maybe it’s too hot, Bess Marvin suggested.

    We’re selling ice-cold lemonade, Bess, George Fayne groaned. Not hot cocoa!

    Nancy counted the few quarters and dimes in a glass jar. She then wrote the total on her favorite writing pad with the ladybug design.

    At the rate we’re going, Nancy said with a sigh, we’ll never earn enough money to buy Katy Sloan tickets.

    Bess and George sighed too. Katy Sloan was their favorite singer. When they had heard that Katy’s next concert would be at the River Heights Amusement Park, they knew they had to go. But Nancy, Bess, and George had already gone to the amusement park twice that summer to ride the rides. Both times their parents had paid for the tickets. So they would have to buy these tickets with their own money.

    That’s when Nancy had the idea for a lemonade stand. They even taped a picture of Katy to the table to make them work harder! Bess had written the date of the concert right on it.

    We’ve been selling lemonade for two whole days, Nancy said.

    And I know our lemonade is good enough, Bess insisted. I got the recipe from my Pixie Scout cookbook!

    Maybe that’s the problem, Bess, George said. Sometimes good enough isn’t enough.

    Nancy glanced over her shoulder at her house.

    If only Hannah would give us her top-secret recipe for pink-strawberry lemonade, Nancy said. It’s awesome!

    Top secret? Bess said, her blue eyes wide.

    Even from you? George asked Nancy. Hannah has been your housekeeper since you were four years old.

    "Three years old! Nancy corrected. And Hannah is more than a housekeeper—she’s like a mother to me."

    Then why won’t she give you her recipe? Bess asked.

    I told you, it’s top secret! Nancy said. She flashed a little smile. Even from detectives like us!

    When Nancy, Bess, and George weren’t selling lemonade they were part of a detective club called the Clue Crew. Nancy even had a special Clue Book so she could write down clues and suspects.

    Speaking of detective stuff, George said with a smile. I joined the Spy Girl Gadget of the Month Club.

    You joined a club without us? Bess gasped. But Nancy is your best friend—and I’m your best cousin!

    "Are you sure you two are cousins?" Nancy joked.

    Bess and George were cousins, but totally different.

    Bess had blond hair, blue eyes, and a closet full of fashion-forward clothes. George had dark hair and eyes and liked her nickname better than her real name, Georgia. George’s closet was full too—with electronic gadgets!

    The Spy Girl Gadget of the Month Club isn’t really a club, Bess, George explained. "I just get a new spy gadget in the mail
